Today we learned about Esther walking on the tight rope of faith. She got into a sticky situation and trusted God. We are learning to trust God too. So we did some trust activities and played a tight rope line game.

Week Two is going great. The heat turned up, but so did the fun. We are learning about some great heroes of faith from the Bible.
God has great plans for us too.
Ephesians 2:10.
For we are God's workmanship created in Christ Jesus to do good works which God prepared in advance for us to do.

Each season is unique in the Woods. But spring brings a refreshing hope of resurrection.
Out of the harshness and difficulty of winter, come life, hope, growth. This is a reason to sing and praise the Lord.

Song of Solomon 2: 11-12
for behold, the winter is past;
the rain is over and gone.
The flowers appear on the earth,
the time of singing has come,
and the voice of the turtledove
is heard in our land.

The forest is coming alive with ducks, geese, azaleas, dogwoods, and butterlies. Come see and find a reason to sing. Join us for sunrise service Easter Sunday at 7 am.
